Help? I regret this career choice?

I really regret choosing nursing and lately idk what it is but I have been having breakdowns dreading the brutal schedule I'm going to have as a new nurse if I ever find a job.

[Toon] Nursing student brain drain

As Nursing Students, we can study too much. We can become over saturated with so much information that it starts to leak out of our ears. Sometimes you just have to shut down your brain.
